Afternoon all,

Please find attached the spreadsheet I used to manage my Vacation Scheme Applications last year, created in conjunction with my good friend at University. It was our baby.

It contains:

- Type of Firm (US, MC, etc)
- Trainee Salary
- NQ Salary
- Rolling Apps
- Direct Link to Apply

There are, of course, blank spaces for you to fill in the deadlines and when/if you applied. These will need to be updated once the information is available.

In addition, some of the salaries etc may need a short update post-covid.

Enjoy!
